Manual Therapy and Sports Massage

The Body’s understanding of movement can be changed by injuries, stress, trauma, inactivity, or prolonged incorrect posture. Any feelings of tightness or pain can be your body’s warning signs that these types of negative changes are already occurring!

Integrative Sports Massage specializes in restoring and improving the movement of your body by improving flexibility, strength, and your posture. Treatment includes hands on therapy and at home education. Nick may use any of all of the following techniques: myofascial release, thai massage, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular release, vibrating Rapid Release therapy, AMT, lymphatic drainage, deep tissue.

Maintenance Work

Maintenance work is a regular scheduled 1 hour appointment that addresses any problem areas or specific sport related stress patterns. This regular occurring appointment can help in many ways like discovering where injuries could be forming and increasing overall recovery. Usually I suggest one appointment every 2-6 weeks if your activity level is moderate to high. If you are more proactive with rolling and stretching then 3-6 weeks. Burnout, injuries, and over-training are often the results of not contributing enough to recovery and self care.
